In this paper, at first, we show that for a ramified regular local ring $S$, which is an Eisenstein extension of an unramified regular local ring $R$, when an ideal $I$ of $S$ is extended from an ideal $J$ of $R$, the punctured spectrum of…
Firstly, we characterise the embeddability of simply connected locally 3-connected 2-dimensional simplicial complexes in 3-space in a way analogous to Kuratowski's characterisation of graph planarity, by nine excluded minors. This answers…
A symmetrical structure consisting of a low refractive index dielectric layer between two metallic films, i.e. an optical cavity, surrounded by a semi-infinite dielectric medium of higher refractive index, forms an optical system capable of…
In math.SG/0303255, we discussed the connected components of the space of surface group representations for any compact connected semisimple Lie group and any closed compact (orientable or nonorientable) surface. In this sequel, we…
Concave mirrors are fundamental optical elements, yet some easily observed behaviors are rarely addressed in standard textbooks, such as the formation of multiple reflected images. Here we investigate self-imaging -- where the observer is…
We motivate then formulate a novel variant of the near-field reflector problem and call it the near-field reflector problem with spatial restrictions. Let $O$ be an anisotropic point source of light and assume that we are given a bounded…
Let D be a simple digraph without loops or digons. For any v in V(D) let N_1(v) be the set of all nodes at out-distance 1 from v and let N_2(v) be the set of all nodes at out-distance 2. We provide sufficient conditions under which there…
In the framework of digital topology, we study structural and topological properties of digital n-dimensional manifolds. We introduce the notion of simple connectedness of a digital space and prove that if M and N are homotopy equivalent…
The plasmon analog of the self-imaging Talbot effect is described and theoretically analyzed. Rich plasmon carpets containing hot spots are shown to be produced by a row of periodically-spaced surface features. A row of holes drilled in a…
Complex networks can be used to represent and model an ample diversity of abstract and real-world systems and structures. A good deal of the research on these structures has focused on specific topological properties, including node degree,…
We study some graphs associated to a surface, called k-multicurve graphs, which interpolate between the curve complex and the pants graph. Our main result is that, under certain conditions, simplicial embeddings between multicurve graphs…
Given any light position S in the complex projective plane P^2 and any algebraic curve C of P^2 (with any kind of singularities), we consider the incident lines coming from S (i.e. the lines containing S) and their reflected lines after…
We introduce reflexive polytopes of index l as a natural generalisation of the notion of a reflexive polytope of index 1. These l-reflexive polytopes also appear as dual pairs. In dimension two we show that they arise from reflexive…
Reflected diffusions in convex polyhedral domains arise in a variety of applications, including interacting particle systems, queueing networks, biochemical reaction networks and mathematical finance. Under suitable conditions on the data,…
It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…
We show how a superconducting region (S) sandwiched between two normal leads (N), in the presence of barriers, can act as a lens for propagating electron and hole waves by virtue of the so- called crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). The CAR…
This paper concerns the recent Virasoro conjecture for the theory of stable pairs on a 3-fold proposed by Oblomkov, Okounkov, Pandharipande and the author in arXiv:2008.12514. Here we extend the conjecture to 3-folds with…
Assume that $\mathcal{P}$ is a topological property of a space $X$, then we say that $X$ is {\it dense-$\mathcal{P}$} if each dense subset of $X$ has the property $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper, we mainly discuss dense subsets of a space $X$,…
Let a finitely generated group $G$ split as a graph of groups. If edge groups are undistorted and do not contribute to the Morse boundary $\partial_MG$, we show that every connected component of $\partial_MG$ with at least two points…
Let V be a compact real analytic surface with isolated singularities embedded in $R^N$, and assume its smooth part is equipped with a Riemannian metric that is induced from some analytic Riemannian metric on $R^N$. We prove: 1. Each point…
